DSL setup

Post by rws524 »

I'm moving to an area that the only broadband available is SBC dsl. My biggest concern is when someone (SBC) tells me I have to use their software for setup. I hate that, my experience is that this software takes over your browser, email etc....They say I have to use it because of ppoe. I'm cable savvy but a dsl rookie, any workarounds? Also, my router is a netgear rp114. I have had two cable (rr & concast) networks that were basicly plug & play. Will DSL also be this simple?
